The latter includes an example userChrome.css file, a chrome folder, etc., which are entirely absent in the full install SeaMonkey. It's like the fully installed SeaMonkey 2.2 is missing something.

Seamonkey 2.1/2.2 breaking Java plugin support on Centos 5 Linux?
I'm a long-time user of Seamonkey, from since it was called Mozilla. The recent 2.1 and 2.2 updates seem to have broken Java support on my Centos 5.5 box (32 bits) and I really can't figure this out. Seamonkey is installed in /usr/local. Starting from 2.1, the /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins directory is gone. As per the release notes, plugins are now managed on a per-user basis in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins So far, so good. I used to have a link in /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins pointing to /usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so (I install Sun's JREs in /usr/local too... it shows my BSD background I guess ) So I moved that link to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins but now about :plugins doesn't show any Java plugin detected. Worse, $HOME/.mozilla/seamonkey/profile name.default/pluginreg.dat shows that the plugin is rejected. It contains: [INVALID] /usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so:$ 1232187965000:$ I've tried with the new plugin found in /usr/local/jre1.6.0_12/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so too. Doesn't work either. I vaguely suspect that there might be a shared library issue with the newest Seamonkey binaries and Centos 5.5, but then every other plugin works OK, including Flash, Acrobat and all.

SeaMonkey 2.2 and Firefox 5 are stable. The SeaMonkey dev team has done an excellent job of creating a quality product. So in that sense, yes, SM is stable. But what I meant by stable in the context of forcing everyone still using their browser to be alpha/beta testers is a release train with no new features - just patches. And those new features have already gone through alpha/beta testing and have been deemed ready for end-users. Why in the world the Mozilla folk think going to a rapid release system is going to win back their lost mindshare (FF usage: down. chrome usage: up) is beyond me. It has nothing to do with whatever you call mindshare, and more to do with not letting unfinished features prevent other improvements (like CSS animations) from getting out to users when they are ready. I suspect there's lot of SM users that would prefer to stay on the same release train (eg. 2.2.x) and not upgrade to the next release train until all of the addons they use have been updated to work work with the new release train. Even if it meant living without CSS animations.. So your issue about add-on compatibility, not forking old releases, correct? In other words, if all your add-ons were compatible with SM 2.2 when 2.2 was released, you wouldn't mind the rapid release, correct? -- Chris Ilias http://ilias.ca Mailing list/Newsgroup moderator ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: tabs in SeaMonkey 2.2 browser poorly designed
JohnQPublic wrote: Sorry to say it, but the tabs in SeaMonkey 2.2 browser just aren't up to snuff... The active tab needs to be highlighted with a different color, so it's easy to see. Firefox accomplishes this by making the active tab lighter, which works fine. If there's any difference in SeaMonkey, I can't see it with my CRT monitor. I realize that LCD monitors render grayscales better, but SeaMonkey should take that into consideration. I've looked through the settings and can't find any way to fix this, so presume it's built-in(?). Apparently the only way to close a tab in SeaMonkey with the mouse is to click the little x at the rightside of the tab bar, but it's too small to hit easily quickly with the mouse pointer. Also that's much less satisfactory than having an x on each tab. Without an x on each tab, it's necessary to first select a tab then click the x. Very cumbersome. Or am I overlooking something obvious as a newbie? Yes, I'm aware of the keyboard shortcuts affecting tabs, but I normally use a mouse for these operations. SeaTab X ( http://tom-cat.com/mozilla/seamonkey/extensions-seatabx.html ) will place a closer X on the tab. It says it works with SM2.2.

Re: Corrupt file
Interviewed by CNN on 11/07/2011 12:06, Gerald Ross told the world: I noticed a file named places.sqlite.corrupt. Can this be safely deleted? It is much larger than the places.sqlite file. Well, from what I understand this is what happens when Seamonkey is unable to understand the places.sqlite file -- it gets renamed to places.sqlite.corrupt and a new one is created from scratch. Meaning you lost all your history, bookmarks and such. One situation (it's not the only one) where this might have happened is if you went back to Seamonkey 2.0 after testing Seamonkey 2.1 or 2.2 in the same profile: the newer version add changes to the places.sqlite database that the old version does not understand, and therefore considers the file damaged. If you DID go back to SM 2.0 at some point and are wondering what happened to your old bookmarks, you MIGHT attempt to rename the places.sqlite.corrupt back to places.sqlite to check if your old bookmarks are there. But do back up the current places.sqlite file before that. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...

The active tab needs to be highlighted with a different color, so it's easy to see. Firefox accomplishes this by making the active tab lighter, which works fine. If there's any difference in SeaMonkey, I can't see it with my CRT monitor. I realize that LCD monitors render grayscales better, but SeaMonkey should take that into consideration. I've looked through the settings and can't find any way to fix this, so presume it's built-in(?).

Or am I overlooking something obvious as a newbie? Yes, I'm aware of the keyboard shortcuts affecting tabs, but I normally use a mouse for these operations. Add to your userChrome.css: .tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] hbox, .tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] .tab-close-button { background-color: #88 !important; color: #fff !important; } .tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover hbox, .tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover .tab-close-button { background-color: #BB !important; color: #fff !important; } This will hilite the active tab to blue. Dunno about making the X any larger. I tried this on 2.0.14 and it works a treat! It's nice to have experts around. Thanks Jay! I found that with 2.0.14 I simply couldn't stand the new Default theme - lasted about 2 days with it; changed it to SM Modern and have been as happy (as I can be) ever since... ...tiny buttons in the download dialog withstanding. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Interviewed by CNN on 11/07/2011 23:16, Felix Miata told the world: You're overlooking the context menu, and overlooking what happens to users who keep open many tabs in browsers with an X button on every tab. Imagine yourself trying to hit the correct X if an X was on every tab in the above picture. First thing I do in every new FF profile is get the Xs off the tabs. One feature of the Multizilla mega-extension I liked was the ability to have the X and the site icon in the same space: it normally looked like the site icon, but if you hovered the mouse over it it turned into the X. It saved a lot of space on the tab bar. Yes, some users might prefer to remove the icon entirely, leaving only text. That's their choice. But I think that the x-when-hover is a nice middle ground. (Chrome went the other way, keeping the X but removing the site icon... it's one of the things I don't like on it.) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

The latter includes an example userChrome.css file, a chrome folder, etc., which are entirely absent in the full install SeaMonkey. It's like the fully installed SeaMonkey 2.2 is missing something.

I never used another method. Granted, not every mouse has a 3rd mouse button but nearly every. Thanks for the tip! It works fine with Firefox too. That's definitely the easiest way provided the spring on the 3rd mouse button (a middle rollerwheel on my mice) isn't too strong. I've tried 2 mice and one was OK, the other requires an extra strong fingerpress to click the middle button. (It tends to roll rather than be clicked.)
